Friday....yay!

Well...made it through another week.  My birthday is Sunday, the big 2-8. WAHOO.  And we have decided to make a spontaneous trip to Chicago tomorrow.  We'll do some shopping, eating and we got tickets to Wicked!  (well, working on the tickets, but hopefully we'll have tickets).  Either way I'm super excited.  We aren't really 'trying' this month, I made the executive decision to take this cycle off before our medicated cycle.  It's been a great relief for me. I have not peed on sticks, counted days etc etc.  I do know however that O day is approaching so maybe...just maybe....going away will help:-)  A girl can dream right?  But even if it doesn't help, I'm super excited for Chicago!!!  (and my birthday...always fun).  

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Today is a good day!  I had a great weekend. Spent with great friends, good gossip and a super fun baby shower!  Lots of baby talk (which I will admit was hard) but so fun! And the shopping and talking and more shopping and more talking was more than fun!  It was the best weekend I've had in a long time!

Then today we had a meeting to get a will/trust etc. set up.  Learned a lot and probably spent a lot of money. But I think it's important especially if we're thinking of having kids.  Then onto the doctor appointment.  I was meeting with a new dr in my ob/gyn office.  My regular dr left in February.  My husband came with me just to hear everything he had to say. I was so impressed, he had actually read my chart and knew the plan that we had originally set up.  I didn't have to go over any of the same problems that I had previously discussed.  He said we would start clomid next cycle (too late this cycle).  I had a blood draw to check prolactin levels.  I also will get an HSG next cycle. They couldn't get me in on such short notice this time either.  Which is fine.  I need to make a few phone calls to my insurance company anyway.  I'm nervous about all this, but I am also so excited. I feel like we have a new lease on life as far as baby making is concerned.  I really hope this works.  He said we will do this 4 times and if it doesn't work then, he will refer me to a specialist.  I am hoping that doesn't happen.  But right now we'll just get down  to the baby making business and hope for the best!!  I'm sure I'll have tons of questions when the time rolls around. But right now I'm just excited!  

In the interim, we are planning on taking a little bit of a break.  No more progesterone, no more OPK's, nothing. I just need a small break before we start all this.  I am going to try to put it out of my mind for the next 4 weeks and focus on spring and summer right around the corner.  Maybe even getting into a little better shape...who knows!  

I probably won't be writing much the next few weeks...but for right now I know I'm finally in a good place!!!

Is it Friday yet?

I'm so looking forward to the weekend.  I had a physical today.  Apparently I hadn't had one in over 2 yrs.  I was in the office for something else last fall and she said it would be good for me to have one. So 5 months later (the earliest I could get in for a physical) I go to get my blood drawn and then back for the exam.  I had my list of question. I wanted to run some of this IF stuff past her, just for an opinion.  She already knew about my m/c and that we were trying.  So when I said I was seeing the ob/gyn on Monday she asks why?  I've only been trying for 7 months.  I correct her and say, no it's been over a year.  She disagrees and says no, you started trying after the m/c 7 months ago, so you still haven't tried for a year.  I TOTALLY disagreed.  So I just changed the subject.  She did say this was not her specialty, so she wasn't real sure, but she did not know why that office would tell me they'd start me on clomid or something this soon.  I was not too pleased with it, but oh well. At least she's not the baby doctor!   Now I'm even more anxious for the appt. on Monday!  

On a side note, I'm going to a friends on Saturday night and on Sunday we're going to another friends baby shower.  I know a lot of people in this position don't like to go to baby showers, but we're such good friends, I think it will be fun.  And I get to see a lot of friends I haven't seen in a while.  And of course I get to bring my tub full of pink!  I'm really excited about that!  

Thank gosh tomorrow is Friday...and Monday will be here before we know it!  

Today sucks

So AF shows up 4 days early. Seriously? You have to be kidding. I'm so upset, pissed, frustrated...you name it! I don't even know what I feel anymore. And of course I'm at work and all these nosey women watch everything I do. I have to go to the car to call my husband...ugh!
We have doctor appointment next Monday, but from the research I've done I probably won't be able to start Clomid until next cycle b/c i'll be past the 3cd. Oh well, at this point what's one more month.
There's nothing else to write....can't wait til 5pm! I'm going to sit around in my pjs tonight and do nothing!

The 2ww...

Well, here we are in the final 2 week wait before the big doctor appointment. I'm so hoping and praying that I can cancel that appointment! But I guess I have another week or so til we can determine that! I am trying not to think too much about it, which of course is hard. The next few weeks are busy though so hopefully that will help. My good friend is home for a baby shower next weekend so I get to see a bunch of college friends. I'm headed to Houston for a conference the week after that. And Dean is starting to get busy with the golf season...as soon as this snow melts! He's hoping that in the next 2 weeks he can open the course. I think he's really anxious. Everyone here is so ready for Old Man Winter to take a break for a while!
It's been a while since I've posted, mostly for lack of anything to post. Life is pretty uneventful, which I guess some would say is a good thing. And for the most part I tend to agree. The only things that have happened are out of my control! A girl I work with is pregnant and causing issues in the work place. So that makes for a stressful day. My best friend in the whole world is moving to Kentucky....8 hours away. I've been sad but trying not to let it get to me. I know we'll see each other now and again. And thank god for email and free minutes on cell phones! And my mom has had her chemo drugs increased so she's been feeling under the weather a lot more than normal! That makes it hard, because I don't want to think about the outcome of that! She's so positive, so I try to be as well. I don't want to let her down!
Anyway...that's the update from the last time I posted. Hopefully next week I can post some HAPPY news!
